Sudan Research, Analysis, and Advocacy

Eric Reeves

This site links to electronically published analytic briefs and advocacy writings on Sudan by Eric Reeves. These have been organized chronologically, and include all electronic publications since the signing of the historic Machakos Protocol (July 2002). There are separate links for publications in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. There is also a separate link for analyses published from July 2002 to December 2003 and another for yet earlier pieces, primarily related to oil development in southern Sudan and pre-July 2002 stages of the peace process involving the National Islamic Front regime in Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A).

There are also links to a number of Reeves' formal publications in newspapers, news magazines, academic journals, and human rights publications, as well as the texts of his Congressional testimony. Finally, a complete list of publications, testimony, and academic presentations is also linked, as is a grouping of profiles of his work.

Eric Reeves is Professor of English Language and Literature at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. He has spent the past eleven years working full-time as a Sudan researcher and analyst, publishing extensively both in the US and internationally. He has testified several times before the Congress, has lectured widely in academic settings, and has served as a consultant to a number of human rights and humanitarian organizations operating in Sudan. Working independently, he has written on all aspects of Sudan's recent history. His book about Darfur (A Long Day's Dying: Critical Moments in the Darfur Genocide) was published in May 2007. (Read critical praise for A Long Day's Dying.)

He is also at work on a longer-range project surveying the international response to ongoing war and human destruction over the past 25 years ("Sudan – Suffering a Long Way Off"). The project will survey not only the history of Darfur, and the world's failure to halt the first genocide of the 21st century, but the substitution — for over two decades — of humanitarian aid for diplomatic resolve to end conflict in South Sudan and the transitional areas along the North/South border.

The contents of this website, as well as other electronic files and hard copy—including a range of Sudan–related publications, written materials, photographs, and maps—are presently being archived in the human rights division of the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, University of Connecticut Libraries, Storrs, Connecticut.
